There was never a doubt that Ann Michael Maye would show up to the Super Bowl dressed to support her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
Ann Michael, 22, arrived at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, February 8 around two hours before game time, wearing a custom Drake Maye jersey jacket, along with white studded pants and a matching handbag.
From the back, it’s more understated than the other custom outfits Ann Michael has gone with throughout the Patriots’ run, appearing just like the back of a New England jersey. The front, however, looks to be one-of-a-kind. The Patriots logo appears on the right front pocket with MAYE written at the bottom of the left side.
Ann Michael broke down the fit in a post via TikTok before she left for the stadium, crediting Kristin Juszczyk, fashion designer and wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk for the jacket.
“SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!!! GO PATS❤️💙❤️💙,” she captioned the post.
As the Patriots have moved through the NFL Playoffs, Ann Michael has grown from a local legend to a national sensation. She first gained popularity among Patriots fans for her wholesome baking and needlepoint videos on TikTok, with diehards eventually dubbing her Queen of the North.
Her signature gameday ‘fits have become a story each week in the postseason.
When New England defeated the Denver Broncos to win the AFC Championship on January 25, she wore a custom jacket made from patches of her husband’s jersey, a Patriots hoodie and an illustrated photo of the Patriots quarterback.
Parker Henry, wife of Patriots tight end Hunter Henry, wore a similar jacket for her husband.
For those, Ann Michael and Parker enlisted the help of designer Aaron Asunsolo, who uses recycled materials to make outerwear.
“I just start cutting it up and placing it where I think it looks aesthetically pleasing,” Asunsolo told the Boston Globe in January.
As for the Super Bowl, Ann Michael gave fans a sneak peek of what she would bring to California in a TikTok video published on Wednesday, February 4.
“Pack with me for the Super Bowl. I’m so excited,” she said in the video. “I have this adorable Away luggage. It’s seriously so cute, [and] we’re going with a huge bag this time — maybe even the carry-on too.”
“We’re starting with jeans,” she continued, holding a pile of several pairs of denim pants. “This might be criminal, but I have more jeans than the amount of days. Now, we’re just throwing in some tops.”
She proceeded to pack workout clothes, pajamas, shoes and toiletries, but she saved her gameday outfit for the big reveal on Sunday.
Drake and the Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60 on Sunday, February 8. Fans can watch the game on NBC and Peacock starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.
